I'm glad that I stumbled upon these videos. they may be old but they are very entertaining and educational at the same time. The different experiments and setups used to show the various examples are great. I especially liked the waves video. I will be watching all of these. Thank you for the upload. If you have more please keep them coming.
Thank you very much for your kind words, we're really glad you like them. We do have an incredible collection here at the Ri, including film reels that have not been seen since they were first recorded. Funding permitting, we are hoping to digitise more of these when we can. In the meantime, you may enjoy some of our older Christmas Lectures: www.rigb.org/christmas-lectures/watch?p=2&video-type=series We are releasing a new series every month!
The example of not using labels such as 'Latent Heat', and demonstrating principles by example with clear, unambiguous explanation - is why he is a brilliant teacher of facts. The people who use labels and expect you to know what they represent are not good teachers of facts. Although they do teach confusion and frustration very well. They are responsible for the the abundance of ignorance prevalent in society. That's the end of my lecture. :)
I happened upon this while looking for Key Stage 2 homeschooling material [COVID-19 lockdown]. The presentation is a little stilted by modern standards, but the science is perfectly sound and... Lawrence Bragg! (Ok, now that I know a little about the Braggs' long relationship with the RI it's not so surprising, but it's a treat just to know this exists.)

I can't agree more! Even among scientist and engineers, many "understand" things as labels which blocks them from true understanding and innovation.
Just wonderful! I love his statement that merely naming an effect is not a description and is not science.
